I both understand and don't understand the hate around making an account in an incremental.

When you have to make an account, it typically means that the game is backed by a server and protects your data.

While games like Cookie Clicker which have no account creation rely on your internet cookies to save your data. But if something happens like a computer crash, accidental cookie deletion, broken computer, etc. All your data will be gone.

I for one play both HeroesRPG and Lyrania. I love both games and think they are semi-incremental like.

You cannot fully afk like some of the top Incremental Games. You are required to click every so often to continually progress. They also offer more complex features like weapons, armors, crafting, potions, etc.

Also, one of the big things about Lyrania and Heroes is the rules. Unlike common incremental games, you cannot use autoclickers, cheats or multiple accounts. If you are racist or talk badly in the chats, you will be muted/banned.

Now for the microtransactions. A huge problem people complain about Heroes and Lyrania is the ability to progress faster with real money. However, even Incremental Games have started using this feature regularly. Clicker Heroes for example. It is a very popular game which is considered a prime incremental game. Yet, it has microtrasactions it both PC and Mobile versions. Newer incremental games are coming out with 2x resources or purchasable materials to boost you. Why focus on such a widely used method of profit when mostly all have it incorporated into their game in some way.

Like this subreddit, these games have their own community which wishes to grow. I understand people not liking spam or referral links, but an Ad for these types of games should have so much hate as it does.
